Scroll to future lifts....
There is still a bit of a mystery here. The guide sheave crossarm with the "unoload here" sign in the Mohawk pictures is not from the Loon triple. As for the other parts I don't know.

More: I did some more photographic research. The sheave assemblies shown at Mohawk definitly aren't from the Loon triple. The North Peak triple had unusual Lorunser sheaves with a solid web (Loon's 7 Brothers also has them). The sheaves at Mohawk are spoked CTEC 1200s. In the first picture on the left in the future lifts gallery you can see the steel tube with the four mini-bullwheels used to support the counter weight on wire rope. The North Peak triple's counterweight was supported on an eight wheel assembly on two steel tubes.
